Re: Two Texas Football Players Accused of Sexual Assault

Please NOBODY accuse me of using the "asking for it" argument, but.....

if (as the article says, and you know journalism) SHE invited THEM back to the room....what EXACTLY did she think they were going back for?

It reminds me of when Mike Tyson was accused/tried/convicted of rape. The first question I had was the same one a lot of people had - "What was she doing in Mike's room at 2 am? Mike ain't known as a world-class dominoes player."

I'll always look back as I walk away
This memory will last for eternity
And all of our tears will be lost in the rain
Til I find my way back to your arms again

Only a few people in the world have the ability to remember everything. I'm one of them. Pick any day of my life, and I can tell you what I saw or heard.

The worst part of this is that the HC/AD has to take a conservative course. If he plays them and the allegations turn out true, he's crucified. OTOH, holding them out, as appears to be true, and they're exonerated, he's crucified by a different crew. Not a good position...

I'm assuming (yeah, dangerous to assume) the decision to send them home was tied to missing a curfew or similar team rule....regardless of what comes out of the sexual assault accusation.

I've been invited back to hotel rooms before, and I never assumed anything close to what these players were accused of would be happening. And, the article is devoid of content as to why the charges were dropped. So, we can only assume why.

If you don't have anything nice to say, then say it with class, say it eloquently, and for goodness sake use the English language like your English teacher tried so hard to teach you.
